Answer: The expected value of a ticket is  - $0.625

Explanation: The expected value is calculated as:

E = ∑pₙxₙ

where pₙ is the probability that the event xₙ occurs.

We have 3 events, first place, where x = $99 and p = 1/1000, second place, where x = $49 and the probability is 5/1000 and the ones that dont win nothing, where x= -$1 and the probability is 996/1000

where i used 99$ and 49$ for the prices because i am discounting the $1 for the ticket.

then the expected value is:

E = ($99 + 5*$49 - 996*$1)/1000 = - $0.625

wich means that in average you lose money in this game

True or False <br> The sea floor is smooth and level
Zina [86]

Answer: False

The sea floor is also known as the seabed or the ocean floor. It is made of mafic rocks (crystallized matter from silicate magma) deposits and minerals including basalt, gabbro, olivine, serpentine, peridotite, and ore minerals from VMS (Volcanic Massive Sulfide). Rocks do not have a smooth surface, therefore, the seabed is not smooth and level.
